@missnycdeals: East Village’s “Little German” history 📚 follow @missnycdeals for more NYC freebies & recs! Built in 1884, the Ottendorfer Library was originally funded by the publisher of the New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung and built alongside a medical clinic so immigrants could treat "the body and the mind" at the same time. If you look closely at the terracotta facade, you'll spot hidden busts of philosophers and medical pioneers baked right into the brickwork! 📍 Ottendorfer Library: 135 2nd Ave - East Village, Manhattan 🕒 Hours: Typically open Monday – Saturday (hours vary slightly by day, usually opening at 10 AM; check the NYPL branch schedule before heading over) #nyclife #nychistory #nypl #libraries #nycfreebies
